==== Radar_pi v5.0 - Replaces BR24, Gradar, GXRadar Plugins ====

Radar PI replaces GRradar, GXRadar, and BR24 Radar plugins for OpenCPN ver 5.0 and up. This plugin overlays the radar picture on OpenCPN. A versatile plugin that can be easily adapted to most broadband radars. We will leave this documentation in place for about 4 months for users of v4.8.8 and the dedicated Garmin plugin.

Radar (Navico 3G) unboxed, supplied cable attached, Ethernet plug-in goes into the PC, power-supply connected, PI enabled, PI requests type of equipment, and that's it. Running. What a pleasure! Thanks! Hubert "

==== Troubleshooting Verbose Logging ====

In the OpenCPN.ini/conf file, make<code>

 VerboseLog=13 (transmit+receive+verbose)

</code>

Run OpenCPN with radar until crash, and put the OpenCPN.log file here on the forum [[http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2908898#post2908898|Radar plugin v5.0.0 released]]

==== Troubleshooting, Menu Display problems ====

Description: \\ 4g radar, if radar A is selected, radar A is seen. If radar A + B is selected, both are seen. IP Addresses can be seen, however the menu panel for Start/Stop and adjustment does not appear on the screen. Maybe it's a problem with opengl? How to fix the problem?

Self-fixed: \\ The problem was in the wifi network settings. Wifi was in 'private' mode, when changed 'public' mode it works perfectly over wifi.
